Dr. Stanford is exactly what I wanted when I signed up for this app. He listens and he responds very precise and quickly.

Dr. Stafford is the best counselor I've ever had. He listens to my concerns and gives me good advice about what I should do in the situation.

Dr. Stafford is amazing. I accomplished more with him in a week than I did with others in months. He’s there for me. Never belittles me. And always listens.

Written by T.E. on Sep 18, 2018 after counseling with Neil for 1 year and 1 month on issues concerning career

What most people had all around them, I have had to hunt down and hold onto fiercely. The void left by toxic family members and former close friends is filled with the gratitude I have for those that chose to invest in my life. I think the closest people in our lives are those we choose to make a part of it, and those that choose to be part of it. The power of individual choice is very great. Thank you Dr. Stafford for being part of my journey.

Dr. Stafford has been a great help, I enjoy our conversations and I really like that he continues to send me messages even when I am not as responsive due to things going on in my life. Highly recommend Dr. Stafford and this program. And already have shown a few people this service as a tool to improve their mental well being..

Dr. Stafford truly cares about our well being. This is not a means to an end for him, he truly cares. He has answered my worst call and he'll answer my happiest update in the same positive manner. I don't know where I'd be without him.

Dr. Stafford has been very good asking the right questions to validate my feelings and help guide me in the right direction. It's very comforting putting my thoughts on paper knowing there is an experienced counselor on the other end who will provide an objective assessment. I recommend BetterHelp - and Dr. Stafford - for anyone facing life transitions that may need support in making the correct choices.
